Comment
Rouvier 2346Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Diadumenianus, who was only a child when he ruled, and his name is spelled incorrectly on the coin as "SEΠ TVRVS METROP COLONI" instead of "DIADVMENIANVS AVG" which is a rare mistake in Roman coinage.
